HEY SAY IF OUR BELOVED DEAD
4au sau 70 on- holopad dead

They say if our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place,
Some st anger would be there instead,
And they would find no welcome face.
4 cannot tell how it might be
In other homes-but This know:
Could my lost darling come 70 me,
That she would never find it SO.
Oft times the flowers have come and gone,
Oft times the winter winds have blown,
The while her peaceful rest went on,
And / have learned to live alone.
Have slowly learned from day to day
In all life's tasks to bear my part;
But whether grave, or whether gay,
i hide her memory in my heart.
Fond, faithful love has blest my way,
And friends are round me true and tr1ed;
They have their place-but hers to-day
Is empty as the day she died.
How would / spring with bated breath,
And too deep for word or sign,
To take my darl ng home from death,
And once again to call her mine!
8 dare not dream-the blissful dream.
Itfills my heart with wild unrest;
Where yonder cold white marbles CLEAN,
She Ltill must slumber-Iod knows best.
But this l know, that those who say.
Our best beloved would find no place,
Have new IT hungered every day
Through years and years-for one swee
face.

True Charity.
The following extract from Lockhart'B
Lite of Sir Walter Scott is not without
its significance In this new era. "Some
one talks of the pains taken to, provide
the poor with receipts for making good
dishes out OF OF binary means. Il dislike
all such Interference he said, .all your
domiciliary, kind OF impairment visits.
They are all pretty much felt like insults,
and do no manner OF good. Let people
go their own way, in Gods name. How
would you like to have nobleman COM
ing to teach you how to dish up your
beefsteak into French kickshaw. Let
the poor alone in their domestic habits.
Protect them, treat them kindly, trust
them; but let them ENJOY in quiet their
dish of porridge and their potatoes
and behring's, or whatever it may be-
for any sake don't torment them with
your fashionable soups. And take care
he added. not to give them anything
gratis, except when they are under the
grip OF immediate misery, they
think misery. Consider it sin to do
anything to make them lose the precious
feeling OF independence. For my part,
I very very rarely give anything away.
Now, for instance, this pile of branches
which has been thinned out this morning
is placed here for sale for the poor peo-
pies fires; and am perfectly certain
that they are more grateful to me for
selling it at the price I do (which you
may be sure is no great matter) than if
I we're to give them ten times the guam
tity for nothing. Every shilling collect
ed in this and other similar manners goes
to fund which pays the doctor for his
attendance on them when they are sick,
and this is my notion of charity"

The Tenth Man To Cross Africa.

New York Sun.
DR.. LEM, who arrived at Zanzibar
last week from the interior of Africa, has
completed the tenth trip made by white
men across central Africa from sea to sea,
Less than year ago he was stleaming
mp the Congo on one Of the vessels of the
Congo state. His little party had been
sent to Africa to rescue Emin Bey and
DR.. Junker. DR.. Lenx found after he
reached Stanley falls that his force was
too feeble to make its way through un-
friendly tribes over three hundred miles
to the Welle Makna, where DR.. Junker
was supposed to be. After he bad con-
vinced himself that he could not reach
DR.. Junker or Emin Bey from Stanley
falls, he assembled the Congo over 300
miles further to Kasongo, the headquar-
tiers Of the great Arab trader, Tippo Tip,
hoping from this point to be able to push
northeast to Albert Nyanza, where he
thought he might find the beleaguered
explorers We heard few weeks ago
that he hA been defeated in his purpose,
and that he was pushing eastward to
Zanzibar.

The Deepest Well in the World


Through the perseverance in scienti
fic research characteristic of George
Westinghouse, says the Pittsburg Lead
er, Pittsburg can now boast of having
the deepest well in the world. China or
our antipode, for which Mr.. Westing-
house seems to have gone in search
when he pointed the drill, has long and
unjustly SO been credited with having
wells 5000 feet deep. The Bavarian
government then surpassed all Europe
in having drilled to depth of little
over 1900 feet, or about 100 feet
deeper than that at Grenelle, France.
In some sections of the Washington
county gas-field depth of 5000 feet,
was reached, but there the scar III ended
until the gentleman referred to conceive
the idea of penetrating the subterranean
passages previously undisturbed by the
drill. Ever since developing what is
now referred to as the Homewood gas
field, Mr.. Westinghouse has nurtured
theories which he eaid nothing
about, save to the eminent geolo-
gist, Ashburner, who is now associated
with him in the search for such chunks
OF light on the silurian stratas as the
steel bit, with the expenditure of thous-
ands of dollars, can bring to the surface.
The purpose originally was to drill g.
OOO feet, or as much deeper as possible.
The well selected at first was the ven
ture denominated as No. z, at which
drilling ceased at about 1000 feet.
Drilling was continued until a disas-
trous fishing job called halt at q depth
OF about 1906 feet. This was at once
abandoned, and the machinery, or such
as such as was not IRE rievably lost in
the hole, removed to the Dilworth well,
located about 300 yards distant from the
Homewood public school building.
Steam was raised about a year and
half ago, and, under careful management,
drilling progressed with few Interrupt
tons until few weeks ago, when the ca
BILE 'parted," and the drill rests at f.
75O feet, below the surface. There is al
so in the well about 1000 feet of cable
bearing down the tools, making it one
of the most difficult fishing" Jobs known
to modern science as applied to drilling.

Short and Long Hauls.

By Bob Burdette.
Why, anybody ought to know that it's
the short haul that costs the most. You
see I am sitting in railway parlor car
down in Maine writing postal card to
q friend in Oregon. Now, If I can get
that card to the mail car, only seven car
lengths ahead of me, the government
will carry it 5000 miles for one cent.
That is the long haul Bat it costs me q
quarter to get the porter to carry it to
the postal car. That's the short haul.
Then the porter loses it on his way or
forgets all about it. That's the shrink
age. And there you have the whole
transportation problem in nutshell.

Novelties in Legislation.

Demores.s Monthly.
Switzerland his recently enacted tw,
laws, the operation of which will b,
watched with the keenest interest al
over the world. One is graduated taxa
ton. This applies to incomes. Mere
laborers, and those who make a bare
living, are not taxed at all; but the
larger the income, the heavier the tax
Thus, man in receipt of $4,000 pei
annum pays relatively more than one
whose yearly earnings are S., 900 or less
The object of the law is to discourage
large accumulations of property. In
deed, it is punishment for man to be
richer than his fellows. In our country,
the rich who do not own real estate are
practically exempt from all taxation.
Personal property escapes nearly all exac-
tions. Theaverage workingman, through
the operation of the tariff, pays almost
as much to the government as does Jay
Gould or any of the VaDderbilts. The
same Mr.. Gould is supposed to be worth
$3.50, 100000, Of which, perhaps, $780,
600 is in real estate. But the latter is
taxed Tar more heavily than all the rest
of his vast personal property, which is
in bonds and stocks. In Switzerland
Jay Gould would be forced to pay an
enormous sum annually, because Of his
vast mass of personal property, which is
entirely unta1ed in the United States.
But it is yet doubtful If the gra luated
income tax will work well in Switzer-
land. Every rich, enterprising man, and
large employers of labor pronounce it
unjust TLey say they cannot, or will
not, conduct large enterprises, If they
are to be punished for their public spirit
or business ambition. This graduated
tax il q very favorite one with the So
called labor Ieformers, and il has been

DON'T WONDER.

IS particularly no.a ole instance of the
beatitude of Republican institutions.
That the incidentshou!d excite the won
der of anybody who is familiar with and
can understand and appreciate free in
situations must excite grea, er wonder. 1t
would be remarkable if the lady should
not be able to travel just as she did.
When it shall come that the wife OF the
President or the President himself can
not go and come as other
people go and come; when
it will be that they are unsafe in
their going and coming: when it shall |
be that they must be guarded and pro-
tected, that what is good enough for
their fellow citizens is not good enough
tor them, we may all express great
wonder, and tremble for the simpi.ity
and democracy which have MADE the
republic great and glorious and brought
IS people closer together than are the
people OF any other nation on earth. If

their ranks should any apply
for admission. The Liberals, who
are the men that sink everything to
their hatred of Mormons, do not pro-
pose to surrender their power and au-
thority to either Republicans or Demo
Gratis. They are going to have things
their own way, or they are going to
bury the kickers out of sight.
And so it goes, every body being by

cal mine which is liable to explode
any minute and carry death and des-
truction to all quarters. 1t is all very
very funny. but people will endeavor
to restrain their merrimenr and sup
press their smiles over the amusing

ALL WANTED.

One reason why we desire all TO at
tend the mass convention al the Theatre
next Saturd 4y. is because it is desirable
that all classes be represented in the
Constitutional Convention. THE HERALD
is not going to insist that only friends
of Statehood shall have a voice in this
movement. On the contrary, we want
everybody to take part in it. If there
are enemies to Statehood, we want TO
hear from them. We want to hear
from them before the convention, in the
convention and after the convention
We want to hear upon what they base
their opposition, and if their reasons
are good and their arguments valid, we
want to adopt them and work on their
side. If a State government is not what
the people of Utah desire, If it is some
thing they should not have and this fact
can be made plain, then we will ali OPP
pose the scheme and ask il
be delayed until such time as the people
here are prepared to enjoy the rights
and privileges of American citizenship |
IN its full sense and meaning. A full |
and free expression of sentiment and |
opinion Is desired and courted.
1t is also desired that there be All ex-
preston and exchange of ideas, in order
that the new Constitution will re-
ceive the advantage of the clearest and
best thoughts in the community. If
we shall be so fortunate as to go into
he Union, we want TO enter with a {
Constitution of which all will be proud, {
and which will be the very best for the s
community, As there are classes and Z
factions here, and viii be whatever I
may be the form of government, those
factions should take the trouble to rep
resent themselves, and do what they I
can to protect their rights and advance I
their ideas. II a State government i
shall come, it will be a government t
under which we all must live, hence
the wisdom of each citizen doing his t
utmost to have the form such as best {
pieases him. f,
THE HERALD is honest and sincere in "
the wish that the mass convention will a
